I help mission-driven organizations tap into generative conflict as a resource that helps their work become more meaningful, sustainable, and authentic.
Generative conflict skills can help you do four important things:
1) Build power with the long-term partners you'll need to achieve your mission.
2) Turn perceived adversaries into allies.
3) Gain deeper insights into the essence of your mission as well as strategies for actualizing it.
4) Save significant costs related to staff dissatisfaction - e.g. turnover, loss of productivity, and toxic rumor mills.
Check out my Generative Conflict Starter Kit to get a sense of my approach.
Below is a list of already-developed trainings I deliver for organizations and teams. The length and content can be tailored to meet specific needs:
Establishing a Generative Conflict Culture
I like to deliver this training as a four-part series. It includes essential skills and awareness for establishing a generative conflict culture.
Advanced Conflict Skills
For teams that have done the above training on Establishing a Generative Conflict Culture, I offer a series of advanced trainings to deepen the skills.
Conflict Lab
For teams that are in process of developing a Generative Conflict Culture, I offer conflict lab work. Conflict lab work involves working with a live conflict collectively. It involves part facilitation and part instruction.
In addition to the trainings that I offer, I also offer tailored training, facilitation, and coaching to organizations and teams depending on need. Examples of this type of work include:
co-designed trainings according to your organizational need
follow-up coaching and consulting around issues related to my trainings
specific personal growth work in the areas of self awareness, relational awareness, cultural awareness, systems awareness, or the responsible use of power
conflict facilitation
I offer the following packages for individuals looking for real-time support with leadership and conflict. The table below outlines some of the coaching packages I offer.
25-minute calls can normally be booked within 24 hours, and 50-minute sessions can normally be booked within 48 hours. See my pricing section (lower down on this webpage) to get a sense of pricing.
I offer organizations a sliding scale according to budget and need. See my guidelines below for a sense of how I approach pricing. (Appreciation to Pollinator Consulting and AORTA for a guideline on organizational pricing.)
